I wish I had a recording of some of the trees I've heard squeaking in the forest. At first I was quite startled when I realized trees could make these unexpected noises. Leaves rustling in the wind I understood but the creaking and squeaking sounds didn't make any...

As early as I can remember I've taken notice to tracks left behind by the forest animals. Most noticeable when left in fresh snow and alongside the forest trail in the mud. Dad was the best at figuring them out and we had a book on all the tracks from animals in...
Happy Valentine's Day Faeries 🙂 I made this little poster in honor of this lovely day. Of course I wish everyone love everyday but today is a great time to make it just a little more special. I photographed these leaves August 2013 in Blarney, Ireland while visiting...

Oh the lovely wood tick. Luckily they are not year round in Manitoba but when we near spring I can't help but think of those dreaded ticks. A walk in the bush is not as simple as it sounds during this season. You must consider what you're wearing and constantly be...
